PERATION
The FT-2600M includes a host of convenience features which makes operation on amateur
repeaters both efficient and enjoyable.

PLITS
This transceiver offers three methods of setting up split-frequency operation on repeaters:
[1] Manual selection of preset repeater shifts;
[2] Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS), providing automatic activation of repeater shifts
within
designated repeater frequency subbands; and
[3] Independently stored transmit and receive frequencies (typically not corresponding to
established repeater frequency shifts).
[1] Standard Repeater Shifts
The FT-2600M has been shipped ready for use on the repeater shift typically used in your coun-
try. For customers in the United States, for example, the standard repeater shift will be 600 kHz,
and the direction of the shift will depend on the part of the band in which you are operating.
To activate the standard shift manually:
(1) Press and hold in the [
MHz
] key for one second, then rotate the
Main Dial
knob to
select “
23 RPTR
.”
(2) Press the [
MHz
] key, then rotate the
Main Dial
knob to select the desired shift direc-
tion:
ARS
(Automatic Repeater Shift),
SHIFT–
,
SHIFT+
, or
OFF
(Simplex).
(3) Press and hold in the [
MHz
] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to
normal operation.
With repeater shift activated, you can temporarily reverse the transmit and receive frequencies
by pressing the front panel’s [
REV
] key. Use this feature to display the transmit frequency
without transmitting
, and to check the strength of signals on a repeater uplink frequency (so as
to determine whether or not a particular station is within “Simplex” range, for example).

HIFT
The repeater offset is usually set to 600 kHz from the factory. You can change the offset by
using following procedure, if needed:
(1) Press and hold in the [
MHz
] key for one second, then rotate the
Main Dial
knob to
select “
26 SHIFT
.”
(2) Press the [
MHz
] key, then rotate the
Main Dial
knob to set the desired offset. Note that
the resolution of the “standard” repeater shift is to the nearest 50 kHz multiple.
(3) Press and hold in the [
MHz
] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to
normal operation.
Note: Do not use the above procedure if you just want to operate on one “odd split”
frequency. Use the “Independent Transmit/Receive Frequency” mode, as described
in section [3] on the next page.
